The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story
Escape From Vault Disney
In this episode, after way too many delays, the randomizer kicks off this year's Patreon Request Month by going all the way back to 2009 to pick E.J. Riley's request for a documentary about two legendary brothers who became Walt Disney's personal staff songwriters in the 1960s. Over the course of their illustrious decades-spanning careers, they composed such all-time classic beloved evergreen masterpieces as "Fidelity Feduciary Bank," "Let's Put It Over with Grover," "The Boomps Song" and of course "Detroit." But beneath those hummable earworms, all was not well for Richard and Robert, for...

The Sign of Zorro
Escape From Vault Disney
In this episode, we're bypassing the randomizer for a VERY long-awaited Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend David Ganssle FINALLY takes his Guest's Choice option out of his back pocket after four-and-a-half years and slaps it in front of our eyeballs, but not before cutting eyeholes in it to shield our identities. That's right, Doggans is making us watch a 1958 "clip show" movie compiled from the first thirteen episodes of Disney's hit 1950s ABC black-and-white primetime series about that legendary world-famous dashing Spanish Californian outlaw played by the dad from Lost In...

10 Things I Hate About You
Escape From Vault Disney
In this episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1999 to pick a teen high school romantic comedy loosely based on one of the more controversial plays by history's most celebrated playwright, William Shakespeare. Now, Shakespeare is of course ubiquitously revered as the greatest writer the English language has ever known, but it's worth asking from time to time, did any of his plays contain motorcycle stunts, ska music, outdoor paintball, high school students inexplicably dressed as cowboys, Seattle's Fremont Troll sculpture, a large penis drawn on the face of the head elf from The...

Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas
Escape From Vault Disney
In this episode, for this year's Christmas episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2004 to pick a straight-to-DVD anthology feature in which everyone's favorite classic Disney animated characters were given some of the most horrendously hideous CGI makeovers you ever done seen, just so they could star in a bunch of even-cheaper holiday stories about everything Christmas is all about: sick ice skating moves, espionage, chronic embarrassment, blacklight-induced violent rage, and of course the act of naming a dog Murray. Needless to say, they couldn't get Kelsey Grammer to narrate this...

WandaVision S1E6 - All-New Halloween Spooktacular!
Escape From Vault Disney
In this year's Halloween episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to pick the Halloween episode of one of the biggest zeitgeist-capturing megahit series in the illustrious five-year history of Disney+. The first-ever television show produced by Marvel Studios was also a twisted love letter to the history of television itself, filtered through an uncommon love story between an Eastern European witch and an undead British-accented android, in a thoroughly postmodern setting that literalized how escapist entertainment can paradoxically become a mental prison, all wrapped up in a...

Deion's Double Play
Escape From Vault Disney
In this episode, just in time for the World Series and a new football season, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to pick the first ESPN "30 For 30" sports documentary we've ever had to cover on this podcast! Specifically, a documentary about multi-hyphenate 90s superstar athlete Deion Sanders, aka "Prime Time," which is a nickname he gave himself, presumably for reasons. Sanders gained fame for playing professional baseball AND football at the same time, and once in October 1992, he attempted to play in an NFL game in between two postseason MLB games in a different state, all within...

The Rescue
Escape From Vault Disney
In this episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to pick an example of everyone's favorite subgenre of Disney+ content, that's right, another NatGeo documentary! Only this time, it's NOT one of those wretched disposable televised NatGeo specials that's exactly the same as every other NatGeo special, it's a full-fledged NatGeo-branded theatrical documentary feature film from the Oscar-winning directors of Free Solo about the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, an inherently compelling true story of unlikely heroes triumphantly overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds in order to save...

Delicacies Destiny - Episode One
Escape From Vault Disney
In this episode, we return following an unanticipated long hiatus as the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to pick the first episode of a Chinese romantic comedy streaming series from China's video-sharing site Bilibili. In this period piece set during the Ming Dynasty, we follow a woman's journey from humble beginnings to her position as head chef for the crown prince at the imperial palace, all while the show's aesthetics combine mouth-watering culinary footage, Hanna-Barbera sound effects and jokes about turning kidnappers into eunuchs until it gets to the point where you really...

Our statement on Kyle Carrozza
Escape From Vault Disney
Please donate to these Human Trafficking Prevention & Survivor Protection charities:
info_outlineAt long last, this week the randomizer wraps up Patreon Request Month 2023 by going all the way back to 2012 to pick Nick F's request for an episode of the OTHER project titled "Once Upon A (something)" that first aired on ABC in which Disney tried to cram every last Disney character onscreen together. Specifically a season one episode that had the bold vision to say, "hey, remember when Disney retold a tale as old as time so absolutely perfectly that it became the first-ever animated feature nominated for Best Picture? We can probably do it better." They failed of course, but along the way they sure did give us an episode chock full of stupid character names, bad CGI backgrounds, annoying maniacal cackling, slutty goth waitresses, sneezing pharmacists, the kidnapping and excessive caning of a drinkware thief, and what the hell, a scene where a human being gets turned into a flower. Join Tony Goldmark, Charley Marlowe, Madeline Maye, Chris Nebergall and Veronika Vexed as they enter Shrek's outhouse and wipe their asses with a torn-out storybook page that begins with ONCE UPON A TIME, season one, episode twelve, "Skin Deep!"
